    I am sorry and this may sound very harsh but surely you should spend what money you have rather than trying to not let it affect what benefits you may receive.

    We receive all the appropriate benefits but I would like to know how best we should invest any surplus we get to avoid being caught by maximum savings limits that apply to receipt of some state benefits (i.e. Income Support).

    Hmm. You are getting benefits that are clearly so generous you have a surplus and you want us to advise you how to get round the rules so you can keep collecting them all in full. Funded by the rest of us remember. I dont think so .
